EXERCISES THAT CAN BURN FAT & TONE THE LOWER BELLY AREA

EXERCISES THAT CAN BURN FAT & TONE THE LOWER BELLY AREA

I recommend the following exercises;

Mountain climbers

Mountain climbers is a compound exercise that targets various body parts, including the core, arms, and cardiovascular system. It is a good moving plank workout for burning body fat, especially around the abdominal region.

Steps

  • Star from a high plank position with palms below the shoulders.
  • Keep the back neutral and tuck in your tummy.
  • Lift the right knee, pushing it towards the chest
  • Take it back and do the same on the other knee- one rep
  • Count 15 reps of 3 sets
  • I recommend doing this at least three times every week

Full burpee

I love burpees because they work out my whole body at once. For example, they help burn fat and tone the chest, shoulders, core, triceps, and lats. I also gain cardiovascular strength when incorporating it in my exercise schedule.

Steps

  • With legs shoulder-width apart, jump to a squat
  • Put hands on the surface right in front of your legs and jump the feet back to a high plank position
  • Take a push up, either a 90 degrees or drop your knees for a modified version
  • Bring your feet closer to the hands
  • Jump explosively into the space, as one rep
  • Do this 12 reps of 3 sets
  • I advise my clients to do burpees two to three times every week.

Inchworm

  • Stand with legs shoulder width apart
  • Drop your hands and walk to a high plank position
  • Walk back to standing, as the first rep
  • Count 15 reps of 3 sets
  • Do this exercise at least thrice every week to achieve the results quickly
